Titanic; the Movie

“Fifteen hundred people went into the sea, when Titanic sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby… and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, including myself. Six… out of fifteen hundred. Afterwards the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait… wait to die… wait for an absolution that would never come. (Titanic, 97) In the movie an older Rose stated this quote about the sinking of the Titanic. The movie Titanic is based upon a true story that happened in 1912. James Cameron is the writer and the director of the film. Since the Titanic is one of the best American stories in history, because this movie is full of love, romance and tragedy. There was a lot of working that went into making the movie Titanic, from creating the story (searching for the blue diamond, the romance between Jack and Rose and the sinking of the Titanic, choosing actors to play the characters, the cinematography to the genre that it is rated for the audience. Deep Sea Explorer Brock Lovett is searching the remains of the Titanic looking for the great hope diamond. He stumbles upon a picture of a young woman wearing the diamond on the day the Titanic sank. The young woman is Rose DeWitt Bakater. A much older Rose shares with the explorers what happened on April 12th, 1912 aboard the RMS Titanic. Rose recalls meeting Jack Dawson, the time that they shared, the hitting of the iceberg and what happened when the Titanic sank. Titanic was filmed in a non-linear order because Rose is remembering what happened on the Titanic.

...When people think of the sinking of the Titanic, they will most likely think of the great Hollywood blockbuster movie that was more a love story then a historical movie with documentation of what happened on that cold night of April 14, 1912. Historians like to tell people what happened from the facts that are given to them, and eye witness accounts of what had happened on the ship the night it plunged to its deep dark grave. Everyone knows that the ship sank and that it is gone, but what they don't know is what had happened while people were being loaded into the lifeboats and what was occurring after the ship went down. Men played a big role in all of this; some were looked upon as cowards and others as heroes.
There are different view points of what the roles of men were. Not only during the night the Titanic went down, but also the roles they played in society in 1912. For everyone who survived the sinking, should be thankful and happy because more then half the people on the ship that night passed away. The male survivors however had to justify how they survived, because the rule of the sea was women and children got on the life boats first.
The men aboard the Titanic had responsibilities after the ship collided with an iceberg. They were looked at as if they knew they weren't going to live, but they had to save the women and children who were aboard the Titanic. As for the men who just wanted to save their own lives and didn't care about anyone else, these men......

...Since 1912, when the Titanic sank on her inaugural voyage, there have been many theories behind the mystery of how this unsinkable ship ended up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Up until now, the theory has been that an iceberg tore open a 300-foot gash in the side of the 900 foot-long luxury liner. Even after 1985, when Robert D. Ballard founded the Titanic, the expeditions mainly focused on the beauty of the ship and not the damage it had sustained from the iceberg. Of course the Titanic is submerged in many feet of mud so searching for the damage has been impossible.
Just Recently researchers were able to determine the damage to the ship by imaging the sunken liner with an acoustic device known as a sub-bottom profiler. They examined the ship’s starboard side, finding a series of six thin openings along the hull. This implied that the iron rivets along the plate seams probably popped open creating small gaps for the water to come in. Two wrought-iron rivets from the Titanic’s hull were recently hauled up for scientific analysis and were found to be riddled with unusually high concentrations of slag, making them brittle and prone to fracture. From the observation, researchers concluded that since these seams were roughly 20 feet below the waterline, there was an enormous amount of pressure from the seawater, which made it’s way into the compartments very quickly.
Navel Architects and marine engineers claim the Titanic was moving at an estimated speed of 22 knots...

Summary
Rose is an American girl on her way back home on the maiden voyage of the ship HMS Titanic. the largest and fastest ship to be built at that time. She's heading back to the states with her mother and rich fiancé' Cal. We first see Rose running to the front of the ship frantically. She climbs to the railing and contemplates jumping and slips and a passenger named jack stops her from falling off the ship. Her screams brings people running and they assume that Jack has caused her some harm but she states she almost fell and he helped her. Cal doesn't like the fact that Jack touched his fiancé. Jack is inviting to have dinner at the captain's table. Soon he and Rose go down to the steerage quarters to dance and drink. Jack is a steerage passenger who won his ticket in a card game minutes before the ship sailed.
Rose fall in love and she decides to leave Cal for Jack. Cal and his ego cannot believe she would rather be poor and with jack than to be rich and marry him and he smacks her but it is after the point that the iceberg has hit the ship.
after many things in between Rose gets on one of the last boats leaving the ship but jumps back on the ship to die with Jack and those who are still on the ship. We see jack die and before doing so he tells her that she will not die there but in her bed an old lady. A few boats return and Rose gets rescued but doesn't let Cal and her mother know she survived and uses jack's last name of Dawson when they dock in......

...the bridge and people in the water. On deck, people were scrambling towards the stern or jumping overboard in hopes of reaching a lifeboat. The ship's stern slowly rose into the air, and everything unsecured crashed towards the water. While the stern rose, the electrical system finally failed and the lights went out. Shortly afterwards, the stress on the hull caused Titanic to break apart between the last two funnels, and the bow went completely under. The stern righted itself slightly and then rose vertically. After a few moments, at 02:20, this too sank into the ocean.
Only two of the 18 launched lifeboats rescued people after the ship sank. Lifeboat 4 was close by and picked up five people, two of whom later died. Close to an hour later, lifeboat 14 went back and rescued four people, one of whom died afterwards. Other people managed to climb onto the lifeboats that floated off the deck. There were some arguments in some of the other lifeboats about going back, but many survivors were afraid of being swamped by people trying to climb into the lifeboat or being pulled down by the suction from the sinking Titanic, though it turned out that there had been very little suction.
As the ship fell into the depths, the two sections behaved very differently. The streamlined bow planed off approximately 2,000 feet (609 m) below the surface and slowed somewhat, landing relatively gently. The stern plunged violently to the ocean floor, the hull being torn apart along the way from......

...Purpose: The Titanic To Inform To inform my audience about one of the most famous tragedies in history, the Titanic. From the disaster to the movie, the sinking of the Titanic remains one of the most famous tragedies in history.
Thesis:
I.
Introduction A. Attention Getter: An American writer named Morgan Robertson once wrote a book called The Wreck of the Titan. The book was about an “unsinkable” ship called the Titan that set sail from England to New York with many rich and famous passengers on board. On its journey, the Titan hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sunk. Many lives were lost because there were not enough lifeboats. So, what is so strange about this? Well, The Wreck of the Titan was written 14 years before the Titanic sank. The sinking of the Titanic was one of the largest non-war related disasters in history, and it is important to be knowledgeable about the past.

...Journal Entry: Titanic
Today, April 7th, I went to watch Titanic. It was great film illustrating the harsh reality of the greatest manmade object of its time, a ship. It’s a story that illustrates the segregation between the lower class and higher class. In the film, lower class Jack Dawson falls in love with Rose, a wealthy girl who is expected to marry her arrogant fiancé Cal. Through the movie you see the different social classes. The wealthy people have more luxurious rooms, better food and eating areas, fancier clothing, and even have a greater chance of survival for worst case scenario situations. The lower class had their rooms on a lower level on the ship, they also had less appealing. Ultimately, I was able to wrap my mind how different social classes were treated in this time period. These people lives only mattered on the amount of wealth their families had. Another important aspect I noticed in the movie is that when it comes down to life or death in such desperate situations, you are able to see the selfish and snobbish side of people. People will literally try to save their own lives, yet you also see the true heroes who put others before themselves. The most heartwarming part in all of this was that Rose loved Jack so much she risked her own life so many times just to be with him. She went down to a lower level as the ship was sinking to un hand cuff him, she jumped back into the ship after she was safe in an emergency lifeboat, and although Jack was unable......

...started to row the boats back towards the others.
After what seemed like forever The Carpathia arrived and started taking people off the boats and onto their ship. In all the chaos of people boarding the ship, Jack lost sight of Rose. He started searching all around and couldn’t find her. An officer on The Carpathia asked Jack his name and he grabbed the list to try searching for Rose. He didn’t see her and figured that she would be happy without him. He gave the officer back his list and went to the dock to get off the ship.
Several years later Jack had a new life. He had a house, he had a job and he had a dog named Rose. He started planning a vacation to Italy to try to find his old friend Fabrizio, whom he had lost track of since the Titanic. He bought a ticket on a plane to travel to Italy. Jack was packing his bags when his dog Rose came up to him. I’m going away for a while, girl,” said Jack, “but I have someone coming to take care of you while I’m gone.” He picked up his bags; left his house, locked the door, and caught a taxi. “Where yah headed?” asked the taxi driver. “The airport,” Jack said. “You got it,” said the taxi driver.
Ten minutes later Jack arrived at the airport. He went to the runway and boarded his plane. He found his seat and sat down. The intercom turned on and a woman’s voice came on and said “Welcome everybody, I am Rose Dawson and I will be flying all of you to Italy today.” When Jack heard this he stopped what he was doing and grabbed a......

...Titanic
After years of construction and work, the Titanic was finally ready for her maiden voyage. The beginning of her voyage was to take place on the morning of April 10, of 1912 at approximately 10:00am. The first of the Titanic’s passengers began to board the ship. Most of these passengers were British residents who had journeyed to the Titanic by means of transportation rather than a boat or train. People rich or poor were scattered all over Southampton's bay, attempting to find their walkway. After the second and third class passengers boarded, the first class passengers were to be escorted to their cabins. Approximately at 12:00pm Titanic was ready to set sail. After Titanic sets out into the open sea, her water displacement caused connected ropes of the New York, which was a small ship, to break. This caused the stern of the New York to swing towards Titanic’s mighty bow. Titanic official's quickly prevented a catastrophic collision. After hours of being delayed the Titanic finally sets sail into the open sea headed towards Cherbourg, France.
The Titanic lowered her anchor when arriving to Cherbourg, France. The Titanic reached Cherbourg, France at about 5:30 p.m. of the same day. When they anchored in Cherbourg more passengers boarded the Titanic. At approximately 8:10 p.m. Titanic raised her anchor and sailed towards Queenstown, Ireland. She arrived at Queenstown at around 11:30 a.m. of the next morning to pick up more passengers and 1,385...

...The Titanic was called of many things: “The unsinkable ship”, “Floating palace”, and “Ship of dreams”. However, on one cold September day in year 1912, this amazing ship was setting sail from Queenstown all the way down to New York.
Many people wanted to be on this boat for when it was ready to set out to its voyage, and many were. There were 2,228 passengers, not even counting the crew. With 2,228 passengers aboard, 1,523 dies, 705 survived, and only 306 of those bodies were recovered, leaving 1,217 bodies from the Titanic that were never found and claimed.
Many of the crewmembers survived the sinking of the Titanic. After it started to get very hectic, the crewmembers started to get scared and did not care if the passengers survived. They used their guns to keep the passengers from stopping them. Seven bodies from the Titanic were shot by the crewmembers.
The reason the Titanic sank is they were out in cold waters, cold enough for big icebergs, it was late at night, and not easy to see everything from a distance but soon, with getting close enough, the tower watchers saw something ahead. Getting only a glare, and becoming past the fog they realized that they were about to become face to face with an iceberg. Quickly telephoning the drivers to turn the boat to go right passed it only sounded that easy in theory, they steered the wheel as fast as they could making a break, so they thought. The iceberg sheered the whole side of the Titanic, but not many thought anything......

...The Titanic must be one of the most famous ships ever built. She set off on her maiden voyage in April 1912, crossing from Southampton in England to New York City in America. In between, she would make stops at France and Ireland. The Titanic was such a huge ship that she weighed more than 46 000 tons and was about 270 meters long.
Thought to be virtually unsinkable, she was built such that any flooded compartment could be sealed off quickly and easily, preventing the spread of water through the ship. Passengers would then have ample time to be rescued since the builders of the ship believed that in the worst scenario, the Titanic would probably take two to three days to be completely submerged.
That fateful night, the temperature was close to zero degree Celsius. Two lookouts stationed at a high point on the ship were freezing but they had to be alert to watch for any signs of danger that the giant ship might face. In that temperature, icebergs-huge mountains of ice floating in the sea -- were a constant threat. It was already close to midnight, so the darkness that surrounded them greatly impeded their field of vision. Even if they perceived any dangerous icebergs, it might be too late to avert a disaster. The moonless sky only worsened the situation.
Then the worst happened. One of the lookouts spotted a huge iceberg right in the path of the Titanic. He immediately rang the alarm. The captain of the ship reacted just as promptly and ordered the Titanic to change her...

...The movie "Titanic"
Many people are attracted to different kind a movie. The best movie I have ever seen
that attracted me with all kinds an emotion, the best looking and interesting actors and the
music was "Titanic".The movie "Titanic" ignited many emotions and attractions on an
audience. When it first came out in the theaters,everybody was talking only about "Titanic"
and movie characters.Some of one was curios to see what happen and after almost three
hours sitting in front of the screen they were full of all kinds an emotion.For sure "Titanic" got
most of the Oscars for the best movie of the year,and I think it really deserved with all the best
characters and the best picture.But what is that ,that really attracted me in that movie?
The first attraction that I had is because it is based on one of the true stories ,that
really happen .The plot was great and all characters are really amazing.When I first heard
about "Titanic" I wasn't that much interesting to see it, but when my friend told me what
is it about ,I was curious.Usually I don't like long movies ,but "Titanic" was something
different,when I watched the time past so quickly,I was into movie so much that I didn't even
felt how time goes so fast.However,the special effects were truly amazing.They gave me a
sense of actually being there,and brought home how tragic the entire episode was. To see
and hear those hundreds of people crying out while floating in......

...climbing aboard a time capsule and peeling back eight and one-half decades, James Cameron's magnificent Titanic is the closest any of us will get to walking the decks of the doomed ocean liner. Meticulous in detail, yet vast in scope and intent, Titanic is the kind of epic motion picture event that has become a rarity. You don't just watch Titanic, you experience it -- from the launch to the sinking, then on a journey two and one-half miles below the surface, into the cold, watery grave where Cameron has shot never-before seen documentary footage specifically for this movie.
In each of his previous outings, Cameron has pushed the special effects envelope. In Aliens, he cloned H.R. Giger's creation dozens of times, fashioning an army of nightmarish monsters. In The Abyss, he took us deep under the sea to greet a band of benevolent space travelers. In T2, he introduced the morphing terminator (perfecting an effects process that was pioneered in The Abyss). And in True Lies, he used digital technology to choreograph an in-air battle. Now, in Titanic, Cameron's flawless re-creation of the legendary ship has blurred the line between reality and illusion to such a degree that we can't be sure what's real and what isn't. To make this movie, it's as if Cameron built an all-new Titanic, let it sail, then sunk it.
Of course, special effects alone don't make for a successful film, and Titanic would have been nothing more than an expensive piece of eye candy without a gripping......
